saying "thank you" after sex

What does it mean when a guy says "thank you" after sex? (more specifically, he said it when he left at the end of the night, not RIGHT after sex).
I'm not trying to over-analyze it or anything, but no one has said it before so I thought it was odd. Does it even mean anything at all? Should I even be thinking about it?

Thank you could be in reference to the explosiveness of it, I guess. To me though, saying thank you makes it seem like it was a favor, like loaning me $5 for bus fare or something. Rather than say that, I'd just follow up with some commentary and cuddling.

Hahahaha. Absolutely. Context is kinda important here...like, how long have you been dating? Is this an exclusive relationship? Have you had sex before but maybe did something a bit, shall we say, kinky this time around which kinda blew his mind?

well if you two are together then it could mean he felt like you didnt really want to and he thinks you were doing it for him. or he could have been thanking you for something totally different. i dont know how long it was between when you two finished coitis and he left but i really dont think you should even be thinking about this unless he says it regularly after you two are intimate

If he said it at the end of the night, I would interpret as "thanks for a nice evening". I wouldn't over analyze this unless there is some particular reason (other behaviors?) you're reading a lot into it.

Well we have been seeing eachother for about 3 months and we had sex for the first time a few days ago. We went out for drinks, then back to my place. I'm not really reading anything into it, just thought it was a bit strange. It did feel like he meant it as a "thank you for the evening" as sophie274 suggested.

believe sophie274 and stop thinking about it. he probably doesnt even remember it so you'll be fine
